About

The Clyst Valley ward encompasses a rural landscape northwest of Exeter, characterised by its network of villages and hamlets along the River Clyst. The area includes settlements such as Broadclyst, Clyst St Mary, and West Clyst, with a mix of agricultural land, small woodlands, and residential developments. The topography is generally gentle, with the river valley providing a central feature for the local geography and influencing settlement patterns.

A notable aspect is the presence of the National Trust's Killerton House, an 18th-century estate with extensive gardens. The ward's economy has traditionally been linked to farming, though its proximity to Exeter has led to increased commuter activity. Local infrastructure includes primary schools, village halls, and the main A30 and A379 road corridors that traverse the area, connecting it to wider Devon.
